dreaming big

The house we bought spontaneously at an auction in the fall of 2012 has an apartment upstairs: one bedroom, a full bath, living room, kitchen, and bonus room, with its own entrance.  I have decided to go for my dream and turn this apartment into a shop!  Not an open-every-day shop, but what I hope will become an open-once-a-month-event-to-look-forward-to kind of shop.  It will be filled with an eclectic mix of items: re-imagined vintage finds, decorative accessories, prints and paintings, handmade accessories, and (time permitting) my altered clothing.  I am overflowing with ideas.  I go from being super excited one minute to overwhelmed  the next.  But every cell in my body is screaming "do it!!  you've got to do it!!"  So I'm doing it!

Why don't you come with me little girl, on a magic carpet ride?”


Please come along to discover new places, new things, and new friends as we climb onto that magic carpet that flies by once a year to whisk us off on a world-wide blog tour! This is my second time participating in this event and I absolutely love the reasons behind it, the camaraderie, the discovering of new blogs…oh, and yes, the giveaways too!!

October, you were a whirlwind; blowing in, spinning me ‘round a few times, and leaving so much behind.You stirred up so much emotion in me: From joy that caused me to get up and dance, to sorrow that had me lying on the floor sobbing.You were such a mirror for me.
You made me want to get back in touch with my therapist, that’s for sure.THE PAST was definitely your theme.  So many situations in recent weeks have made me ask, “Why now?”The answer I’ve settled on is “It was time”.
I’ve said it before, so forgive me if I bore you by saying it again, but I believe the Universe gives us exactlywhat we need exactly when we need it.Maybe I am just now at a point where I can recognize the events of the past few weeks for what they are--opportunities to further my growth and understanding of myself.If things had happened at any other time, would I have been ready to learn, or even see these events how I am seeing them now?I don’t believe so.
Also, there’s the little matter of my art.The 11 canvase…
